Hi all,
I've got one question which regards partially DOS and also Win98 but I decided to ask you in this forum.
So, is it possible at all to make a CD-ROM containing the copy of my original Win98 with all drivers and also the PCDOS so that I could have the choice at booting from CD which system to run?
In other words: two Bootable-CD's on one?
Thank you in advance for your support!
Zennon

Besides the obvious, that a dual boot needs a boot manager, Win9x will not willingly install on a removable [non-fixed] disk.
Further, Windows is almost constantly writing to disk. Which it can not do to CD.

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Yes, I thougt of having kind of the "Installation Disk WIn 98 or so" and Boot Disk PCDOS (for making Disk Images, for example) on one disk.
But what are the suggested Boot Managers?
Thanks in advance!
